This video clarifies the distinction between Level 3 and Level 3+ body armor, emphasizing that '3+' is not an official NIJ standard but indicates enhanced threat protection. Predator Armor's Level 3 plate stops six rounds of 7.62x51mm M80 at 2780 ft/s, while their Level 3+ plate is engineered for higher velocity threats like 5.56mm M193 and 855 rounds exceeding 3000 ft/s, and even 300 Win Mag to a good extent. The video stresses that 'plus' offerings vary significantly between manufacturers.

This video debunks the myth that standard AR-15s are sub-MOA sniper rifles. It explains that M193 ammunition's specification (MIL-C-9963F) allows for up to 3 MOA, and military testing of M16s showed accuracy ranging from 2.6 to 4.3 inches at 100 yards from a machine rest. The speaker emphasizes understanding equipment limitations and improving personal shooting fundamentals to set realistic accuracy expectations.

This video showcases a personal collection of AR-15s featuring A2 carry handles, emphasizing the appeal of classic designs over modern configurations. The presenter highlights three specific builds: a 20-inch M16 A2 clone, a 16-inch mid-length M4-ish variant, and a 12-inch carbine reminiscent of the Colt 733, all primarily from Rock River Arms. The video delves into the historical context of these firearms, the quality of A2 iron sights, and the personal satisfaction derived from collecting these 'unboring' AR-15s.

This video details the loadout for a 3-day Urban Precision Rifle course at Thunder Ranch, Oregon. Instructor Ivan Kit Badger covers clothing layers, personal protective equipment, and essential gear for precision shooting in an urban environment. Key items include durable combat pants with integrated knee pads, a sun-protective shirt, advanced eye and ear protection, a versatile rifle setup with a suppressor and variable optic, and a specialized magazine management system.

The IWI Carmel is reviewed, with a focus on its accuracy potential and use case. While functioning flawlessly and being comfortable to shoot, its accuracy with M193 ammunition at 50 yards yielded approximately 2-inch groups, which was considered disappointing. The rifle is not seen as a replacement for an AR-15 but could appeal to those seeking a unique platform, especially if found on sale.

This video showcases a custom Harrington & Richardson M16A2 clone built to resemble the rifle the host carried during his military service in Afghanistan.
